Podcasts about professionals

Prospects decide who to trust long before they ever call, and the media they read shapes those choices. We break down a fast, practical PR system for design and remodeling professionals who want to be discovered as experts—without spending five figures a month on an agency. You'll hear why third‑party credibility changes buyer behavior, how quick expert quotes outperform long project pitches for busy editors, and the compounding benefits of press logos and backlinks on your website.We walk through the exact routine that fits real schedules: 20–30 minutes twice a week to scan Qwoted, HARO-style lists, and SOS threads for relevant queries, then craft crisp replies with specific, quotable advice. Along the way, we share real-world wins—early placements in Forbes and the Wall Street Journal—and set honest expectations about the numbers game behind PR. Ten thoughtful submissions might yield one or two features, but those features open doors to higher‑end clients, stronger SEO, and faster sales conversations.If you've wondered what to say, we spell it out: give one sharp takeaway, add a concrete example from your projects, include a short credential line, and link to a relevant page on your site. Keep it simple, be consistent, and run your outreach in one‑ to three‑month sprints so the habit sticks. By the end, you'll have a clear plan to turn your everyday expertise into media coverage, social proof, and a steady flow of better-fit leads.

Looking for more DTP Content? Check us out: www.thereadinesslab.com/dtp-links On this episode of the Disaster Tough Podcast, I sit down with Andrew Donawa, Emergency Management Coordinator for the Pasco County Sheriff's Office, to talk about what it really takes to bridge the gap between law enforcement and emergency management. Andrew brings a rare perspective—combining the mindset of a responder with the strategy of an emergency manager—and he's helping shape how Pasco County handles everything from hurricane response and flood recovery to incident management and public safety coordination. We dig into lessons from Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton, where Pasco County faced record flooding and major operational strain, and how his team worked hand-in-hand with fire, EMS, and outside IMT resources to stabilize the county. Andrew shares how he's earned trust across a culture that doesn't always mesh easily with emergency management, walking us through the balance of humility, persistence, and leadership required to build credibility inside a sheriff's office. We talk about how faith and service guide his leadership, how to drive policy changes that actually stick—like improved responder safety standards and water-rescue PPE—and what it means to lead with integrity when everything is on the line. This episode is packed with real-world takeaways on incident command, resource management, and interagency collaboration, and it's a must-listen for anyone working in public safety, emergency management, or crisis leadership. From Oklahoma tornado deployments to Pasco County's hurricane operations, Andrew shows what it looks like when emergency management becomes mission-ready, proactive, and trusted by the people it supports.

Perfectionism is the great career stall. Most people don't slow down because they're lazy. They slow down because they want everything just right before they move. Job seekers spend months polishing résumés, cover letters, and LinkedIn profiles before they ever start actually searching. Professionals over-edit reports and presentations until the opportunity passes. They all have the same problem…waiting until it's perfect before they ship. But progress doesn't come from polishing. It comes from acting. This week's lesson is all about breaking free from perfectionism so you can finally make real progress. I share how I overcame a decade of “consultant conditioning” that taught me perfection was everything and how learning to act fast and iterate changed my entire career.

Take Command of Your Day with the Daily Domination BoardGear up for the new year The fastest path to real high performance isn't a new app or a 4 a.m. alarm—it's a cleaner day. We walk through a lightweight Daily Domination workflow that gets tasks out of your head, into a simple Trello board, and moving from To-Do to Done without drama. No complex frameworks, no calendar chaos—just a clear loop you can trust: dump, sequence, execute, reflect, and bucketize.We start by capturing everything—client work, admin, errands, and even the tiny tasks that clog your attention. Then we show how to order your day for leverage, move one card at a time into Doing, and use the Done column to build visible momentum. The heart of the conversation is reflection: measuring your say–do ratio with honesty, finding the tasks that stall, and deciding whether to split them, schedule them, or delete them. You'll hear how to protect evenings if planning triggers late-night work, and why consistency beats sophistication every time.From there, we dig into bucketizing with labels—Work, Chores, Family, Fitness, or custom categories like Client Delivery, Pipeline, and Broadcasting. Color coding makes patterns obvious so you can steer your time toward what actually matters. You'll learn how to evolve labels on the fly, personalize the system to your world, and use weekly reviews to course-correct without beating yourself up. Along the way, we share community wins, practical caveats, and the small habits that keep the board useful when life gets loud.Ready to trade overwhelm for clarity? Grab the Daily Domination template, try a single day of the loop, and tell us what changed. If this helped, subscribe, share it with a friend who drowns in to-dos, and leave a quick review so more pros can find their flow.Download a PDF copy of Becoming the Promise You are Intended to Behttps://www.depthbuilder.com/books

Looking for more DTP Content? Check us out: www.thereadinesslab.com/dtp-links Host John Scardena sits down with Moose Mutlow, Search and Rescue (SAR) expert, author, and instructor based in Yosemite National Park. With over 20 years of frontline experience in swiftwater rescue, recovery, and family liaison operations, Moose shares hard-won lessons about humility, leadership, and resilience in the face of tragedy. The episode opens with John contextualizing a recent Yosemite accident—emphasizing that the discussion was recorded before that event but underscores the real-world gravity of Moose's work. Realities of Search & Rescue Operations Yosemite averages 220 SAR missions annually, from twisted ankles to multi-day helicopter recoveries. Moose recounts six-month recovery efforts and multi-year search closures, explaining how search theory must adapt to reality.  Leadership, Ego, and Humility A central thread throughout the episode is balancing confidence and humility. Moose and John explore the dangers of overconfidence—both in rescues and leadership. “A good leader listens, delegates, and lets go of control,” Moose notes. “You're not the hero if you can't come home.” They discuss teaching younger rangers through “safe humility”—allowing controlled failure to build competence and self-awareness.Emotional Health & Responder Wellness Moose details using the stress continuum to track emotional health, emphasizing the importance of processing trauma before it compounds. He explains the role of Family Liaison Officers in managing information flow to grieving families—balancing empathy, structure, and control. Both men share personal experiences with loss and coping, from fatal rescues to family grief, reinforcing that “holding space in silence” can be the most powerful act of compassion. Writing, Reflection, and Legacy Moose's books—When Accidents Happen and Searching—help responders process trauma through structured reflection. Writing, he says, “forces you to articulate intuition,” turning instinctive experience into teachable frameworks for others. John parallels this idea to the podcast's mission: amplifying field wisdom for professional development and collective growth. The Humanity in Service “Service is a gift, but it comes at a cost,” Moose says, calling for responders to protect their humanity rather than armor it away. The episode ends with a heartfelt reminder to reach out for help, celebrate small joys, and share mental health resources with others.

How do you professionalize an unregulated industry across a vast country? Erika Godwin and Morag Wilcox share why they launched Canadian Pet Care Professionals, a membership built by and for Canada's pet care providers. They explain the “Verified Pro” approach, Canada-specific education (HR, legal, CRA), and a public directory designed to build trust with pet parents.

The conversation closes with how in-person events and a shared code of ethics can elevate standards from coast to coast.

Vanessa is the founder of Tell a Therapist, a nationwide telehealth platform, and the author of Narcissistic Abuse: A Therapist's Guide, a groundbreaking resource that not only unpacks the devastating impact of narcissistic and cult abuse but also offers clinicians the training and tools they need to support survivors in the healing process.Together, we explore what coercive control looks like in real life.

The 9 Top Triggers for Binge Eating Seen Inside the Therapy Room - and how to manage them. Binge eating is not simply scoffing an extra biscuit, with your morning coffee break. Instead, it involves eating fast, an extremely large amount of food (more than you would eat for lunch or dinner). It's usually in secret and can feel like a dissociative or ‘out of body' experience. You are fully present and grounded on earth, but it can feel as though a demon has swept over you and taken all rational decision making away. Binge eating can fleetingly bring euphoria and pleasure. This is short-lived before guilt, shame and self-loathing descend like a dark cloud. Plus, the physical consequences of feeling over-full are deeply unpleasant and sometimes painful. Binge eating can happen across eating disorders and within disordered eating. This means if you have: anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder or OSFED (Other Specified Feeding and Eating Disorder) – binges can occur.   Harriet's Substack: https://substack.com/@theeatingdisordertherapist   To find out more about my work:- Go to my Website Online 10 Steps to Intuitive Eating - a course to help you heal your relationship with food.

Drawing on real experiences from disasters like the 2011 Brisbane Floods, the 2013 Calgary Floods, and the Queensland floods of 2022, she explains how early warning systems often fail survivors — and how FloodMapp bridges that gap.The conversation breaks down the complex science behind meteorology, hydrology, and hydraulic modeling — the three layers needed to predict where floods will hit, how deep the water will get, and what communities, infrastructure, and lives will be impacted. Juliette also highlights how debris flows, wildfire burn scars, and contaminated floodwaters pose unique risks, and how new data sources — from drones to social media — can be used to calibrate and validate models in real time.John and Juliette also discuss real-world challenges: why agencies sometimes rely on gut instincts in the absence of data, how false alarms affect public trust, and why risk management (not perfection) is the right framework for evacuation and emergency decision-making. With case studies from Oroville Dam, Hurricane Harvey, and more, Juliette shows how better models can prevent loss of life and reduce long-term recovery costs.

Making sense of your eating disorder through psychological formulation If you're lost in the jungle of your eating disorder, without a map to guide you safely, you probably feel intense confusion and overwhelm. Why can't I just eat normally? Why the constant obsessions with food? What is wrong with me? You likely feel terribly alone. To begin to unravel the tangled ed vines that have wrapped themselves tortuously around you, and to shed some awareness and understanding of the complexity of the issue, therapists sometimes use the tool of psychological formulation. Psychological formulation aims to piece together the different parts of the jigsaw, to bring light and clarity. It provides a zoom-out perspective of the eating disorder, as a coping strategy. It peels back the different layers of the psychological onion offering insights and hope around change. In this episode, I explore a psychological formulation and how you can use this as a tool in therapy. I hope that you find it helpful.   Harriet's Substack: https://substack.com/@theeatingdisordertherapist   To find out more about my work:- Go to my Website Online 10 Steps to Intuitive Eating - a course to help you heal your relationship with food.

Check us our here: www.thereadinesslab.com/dtp-linksIn Part 3 of this three-part series, host John Scardena wraps up his conversation with Jim Balthazar, exploring how churches and faith-based organizations can strengthen safety while preserving their mission of sanctuary. With decades of law enforcement, ATF Special Response Team service, and experience leading security for a large church, Jim shares practical approaches for balancing protection, ministry, and community trust.Topics Covered in Part 3Perimeter strategy — why extending security outward, even to sidewalks and parking lots, creates more time and distance to respond.Church disruptions vs. rare violent threats — preparing for the more likely challenges such as disruptions, vandalism, or medical incidents.De-escalation and “pastor-first” approach — treating people with kindness while being ready to shift into protection mode when necessary.Cultural balance — how to avoid turning places of worship into “fortresses,” while still ensuring safety for congregants.Active Threat Mitigation — Places of worship, like businesses and schools, should rely on trained, professional responders to protect congregations. Volunteer greeters and ushers are vital for hospitality and situational awareness, but they should not be expected to act in a professional security or use-of-force role unless they hold current, verifiable professional security or law enforcement credentials.Family and community role — why parents and local culture remain the first line of defense, and how churches can reinforce these values.Key TakeawaysPrevention begins outside the building — greeters and safety teams should look outward as well as inward.Most church incidents are not violent — disruptions and vandalism are far more common and deserve focused planning.De-escalation matters — approach with kindness first, but be ready to act decisively if needed.Faith and safety can coexist — churches can remain welcoming while still protecting their community.Families remain central — cultural norms of responsibility and involvement are more powerful than mandates.Part One: Leadership in the FieldPart Two: Charlie Kirk, Schools, & MitigationMajor EndorsementsImpulseBleeding Control Kits by Professionals for Professionalshttps://www.impulsekits.comDoberman Emergency ManagementSubject matter experts in assessments, planning, and traininghttps://www.dobermanemg.comThe Readiness LabTrailblazing disaster readiness through podcasts, outreach, marketing, and interactive eventshttps://www.thereadinesslab.comFor Sponsorship Requestscontact@thereadinesslab.com314-400-8848 Ext 2#DisasterToughPodcast #EmergencyManagement #ChurchSecurity #CrisisLeadership #DisasterResponse #ActiveShooterAwareness #PublicSafety #Resilience #Leadership #IncidentCommand #FaithBasedSecurity #CommunitySafety

Samurai Dhampir - Yoshiaki Kawajiri's Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust What an incredible find! This week Mr. Chavez & I return to the world of Japanese Anime with this discussion of Yoshiaki Kawajiri's 2000 Dark Vampire Fantasy, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust. Coming fifteen years after Toyoo Ashida's Vampire Hunter D, what Kawajiri creates is breathtaking. Simply put, Japanese Anime expands the boundaries and expectations of "Traditional" American Animation. Nowhere is this more apparent than in Kawajiri's tale of a half human/half vampire hired to track and rescue a wealthy man's kidnapped daughter. In a story that mirrors - to a degree - Richard Brooks's The Professionals, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust takes a simple, and rather familiar, story and emboldens it with some of the most beautiful animation ever committed to film. There is a great deal to admire here. Take a listen as Ibrahim & I are overwhelmed and excited to talk. We hope you enjoy this episode. As always, we can be reached at gondoramos@yahoo.com.
